Since then, she\u2019s landed a Lancome contract and a number of Vogue editorials around the world.\n\nI caught her with her mom backstage at Ungaro and we talked about her quick rise to fashion fame and the differences between New York and Paris.\n\nSo, how is the season going so far?\n\nVery well! You know, Paris is not so easy. It\u2019s very different and I don\u2019t know as many people. Plus, it\u2019s impossible to get a cab! But it\u2019s so beautiful here. Every time I\u2019m here I just tell myself that if it is meant to happen, it will happen. I know that not all designers design for every girl so I just relax and work with those who like me and who I like.\n\nLike, Esteban Cortazar [head designer for Ungaro]?\n\nExactly. Ungaro was my first show ever in Paris so they are like family. The whole staff treats the models so nicely, it feels personal. If I came to Paris to do one show it would be this one. And the clothes are beautiful, of course.\n\nDo you prefer working in Paris or New York?\n\nYou know, the difference between the cities is very much like the casting. In New York, everything is fast and scheduled and hard. But here in Paris, it is very laid back, very quiet. I never really know what I am going to be doing or where I need to be until right before.\n\nThat\u2019s why you look so relad!\n\nIt make everything so much easier if you\u2019re relad!\n\nI\u2019ll have to try that some day."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
